Climbed Tom as part of a trip through the Willey Range. Started at the highland center, up the Avalon Trail to Field, then out to Willey and Back, then over to Tom. Windy with clouds, so no good views. It started raining heavily on my way down, so poncho and headlamp.

It was snowing on the way up, and I had a cold that made me lose my voice. I couldn't call to my dog, who ran ahead to the summit and then went off into the woods. I couldn't find her. I ran down the mountain, and she was in the parking lot of the Highland Center. BAH.

With Flanders, up the A-Z Trail on a wonderfully sunny morning. Hit the Tom summit spur, made the summit and took some pictures. Neat viewpoint to the right split of the trail near the summit. Back down and on to Field.

Did this, Field, and Willey in about 6 hours, and we were not moving fast. It's close to the road and a pretty easy hike. The views are OK. I've been saving the "easy" hikes for last on my 4,000 footer quest.

Climbed with Field, Willey and Avalon via the Willey Range Trail from Crawford Notch. A very pleasent hike up. Saw at least a dozen or so toads during the ascent. Good views of the Presidential Range and of the Pemigewasset Wilderness from the blowdown area near the summit.
